We bought a FTV card from JW air sat (A company in Mojacar) and they said it would only work until december. Is there any way to find that out for certain?

This is probably a an ex -subscription card

Still doesn't matter. Ex-subs cards will decrypt the FTV channels the same as a dedicated FTV card and will be valid until $ly change everyone's regular subscription cards to the next generation.

Hi

I have a yellow house FTV sky viewing card for ITV1&2 CH4&5. When I got it I read somewhere that they shall need to be renewed every 2 years.

Is this true or do we just have to sit back and wait for SLY to flick the switch.

If that card is a Solus, then it is no longer supported by anyone and will continue working till there is a serious card change. I left mine out for 3 months and it re-activated itself within 2 days.

the reason sky want you to have phone line connected is so that they hope you'll be tempted to order stuff via the telly i.e. films etc, your card should work no problem at all, if they ask why its not connected to phone line tell them your in the middle of decorating connect it phone line back up for a few weeks then pull it out again
